A quilt of petals-

Saturday I spent the day creating a box canvas project that I was making in response to a publication call for a magazine. I am not good about submitting. In the past I have been really diligent about submitting, sending project after project in for consideration. I just don’t have luck in getting things picked up. I think in my scrappy design career I have had maybe 5 things published and only a few of those were from a general pub call. So after too much rejection, I just find I am not too diligent about trying. I am trying to change that but I struggle with not getting to share what I make. I love to blog and share my creations. To make something and tuck it away hoping it gets picked up is really hard for me.

So Saturday I spent the day creating fully planning to submit my creation. Today I am blogging it. I couldn’t stand it, I decided I loved it too much to not share now!

On the canvas, I layered frayed Sticky Back Canvas, squares of pattern paper from the Curio 6×6 paper pad, and photos from my garden. I used a pair of mini deckle edge scissors to cut out my photos. On the center square, I added a Tim Holtz Mini Paper Clip to help accent that photo and draw more attention to it.

WOW TAMMY this is just fabuloso!! I am also currently “addicted” to sticky back canvas and this is a great project! I’m so glad you couldn’t stand it and decided to share with us. Although I agree with betty (above) – how could this NOT get chosen for publication – it’s gorgeous!!!

oh my goodness! this is gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing. I love your idea of taking a photo of your garden then the flowers around it,
i have loads of pictures of mt flowers but never any idea on what to do with them. So thank you very much for a fabulous idea.

Oh my goodness this is fabulous Tammy!!!
I just love it, and want one .
I want to take the time to sit and make great projects like this. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
By the way I am with you about submitting, I hate to keep track of all the supplies and only using products for certain companies and then waiting and waiting and never knowing. I enjoy sharing and getting on with the next project.
